This Day in Wrestling History

By -
This day 14 years ago during a low point of the Monday Night Wars, WCW went a little to far with a certain match. Sting vs Rick Steiner was a match on the card for the Television Title and it was a Falls Count Anywhere Match. This match took place at the Great American Bash 1999 live on PPV but it wasn't the match that was a problem. Most people thought this match would be good because of who is in it Sting & Rick Steiner two of the better workers the company had left. But not tonight as during the match they went backstage and when the camera found them they found Sting being attacked not by another wrestler. He was being attacked by dogs some of which were led in by Scott Steiner.

This was a definite low point of the Monday Night Wars and for WCW because they pulled this stunt and they are lucky Sting didn't get severely injured from the stunt. The ending of match saw "one of the dogs" pin Sting which gave Rick Steiner the win. Does anyone if a dog really pinned Sting nope, but does anyone really care I don't think so either. The Main Event of  the show saw Randy Savage challenge World Champion Kevin Nash for the title but lose via DQ. The DQ came when Sid Vicious returned to the WCW after 6 years away from the company as Randy's bodyguard.

I guess in away this show might have told the future for the outlandish things WCW would later do and get away with. But they'd also hurt the WCW banner to know end and to this day most people can't figure out why WCW did half of things they did.

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo...

Spring Cleaning Coming Early!!!!

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...

Kliq Politics

I saw a headline on a dirt-sheet earlier today that there is talk in WWE for the Kliq to get inducted into the Hall of Fame. Is this a joke, for fans who aren't aware of the backstage situation in WWE during the mid 1990's they will not understand not only the name of the group but why they are in the Hall of Fame. OK they mentioned the Kliq in the Nash/HHH/Punk feud in 2011 but still do you think people will understand why. Now if your talking about the NWO and DX as separate groups of course they both deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. But the Kliq getting inducted would be worse then seeing Drew Carey get inducted into the Hall of Fame and I mean that. This is no way saying that all members of the Kliq didn't have Hall of Fame careers but this group did nothing but hurt the WWE and their is no reason why they should be even considered for the Hall of Fame. All this and the biggest superstar in WWE history Bruno Sammartino isn't in the Hall of Fame yet it is a damn...
